reviewed Our beloved kin by Lisa Tanya Brooks (Henry Roe Cloud series on American Indians and modernity)

Brilliant

5 stars

Believe the hype. I really appreciated how Brooks centered Indigenous stories and perspectives, while also showing how colonial narratives of The First Indian War, aka King Philips War, were part of a rhetorical replacement of the Indigenous that legitimized settler colonialism in New England.
